The 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL55 Is A Dramatic Redo Of An Iconic German Roadster

[@theredline]

We haven’t been this in love with an SL-Class since the late 90’s, early 2000’s era. Mercedes-AMG definitely nailed the design. Would you guys get this over a comparable Porsche 911?

[@BrawlFreak786]

100% id get the over a Beetle

[@garrettw99]

No, I’d get a 911 for sure. I’d need to drive both to be sure though. I prefer the car with better dynamics and the SL is too heavy for me.

[@TalismanPHX]

Nope, Porsche for sure.

[@Jacobk66]

No, and I’d get an 8 Series over it to. The interior just looks tight.

[@307skylake7]

No. I'd still get the Porsche, probably drives better because its lighter, and I prefer a vehicle that dosen't have an iPad tacked on it.

[@Reaperguy67]

I like the color of the one you got. That blue whould look great in the sun.

[@carbuzzcom]

Thanks for having us on the video!

[@oliverroo59]

This interior - with the gauge screen still separated from the center console - looks better than other MB interiors with screen overload. Overall, this car is absolutely gorgeous.

[@hellkitty1014]

After they killed of my beloved W222 S-Class Coupe, I'm now back in love with MB coupes, which was something that was a hallmark of the brand for decades. This car is exquisite. MB-AMG seemingly blended sport, luxury, and presence altogether. And due to the meancing front end and curvaceous body, it shows so well in the more exotic AMG color palate than the typical silvers and blacks associated with MB and German cars.

[@johnblack4915]

No they killed the coupe 😕😳😢🥺😭Mercedes streaming down..I like the coupe it's bigger than this..convertibles are seasonal..coupes are 4 ever..😔

[@chrisak49]

The only thing they messed up on is the roof. It should be a hard top not fabric

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Absolutely!!!

[@jacobbio]

this model fits the convertible perfectly, I would drive with the top down if I got the chance to drive it.

[@caglioso]

The hard top would look nicer but it also adds weight, and the mechanism is more complex + likely to fail over time.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

[@Noah-ui1iu]

Mercedes direction with just sticking that tablet crap in all their cars is just bleh. It's easily been the most talked about and controversial thing in their new interiors and for good reason. It gets loaded with fingerprints, dust, and it looks like an after thought. Their old dual screen layout with the gauge cluster and the infotainment side by side was so clean with physical metal buttons for the climate and a physical volume control. Auto manufactures think this is what people want when people just want stuff that works.

[@caglioso]

Agree, no one can say they don’t make great interior, but the new style of infotainment just feels like it intrudes on the design and makes it less elegant feeling. Well integrated tech is better than simply more tech!

[@cb9137]

Gotta start wearing gloves to avoid them prints 😂

[@omidnamin9004]

unfortunately it's the new trend. And manufacturers love the idea since it's a cheap cost cutting tablet that's "breakthrough tech"

[@isimonsez]

@@omidnamin9004 Considering most people today are glued to a screen it’s funny to hear them bitch about one in the car

[@jonss9980]

I agree, interior looked wonderful then tablet made it look cheap somehow. Didn't like that it sat on top of the dash instead of tilting back into the dash. Interior felt even more crowded

[@P4SDetails]

“Have they done enough to make the AMG class desirable again.” Absolutely. AWD, better suspension, and improved handling.

[@AscariDrives]

I feel weird for feeling the need to say this, but thank you for not using any sort of mean or demeaning words when a cop happens to make an appearance during your filming.

The "old people boring cruiser" would have been the S Class coupé/convertible.

I don't care what anybody says my 2018 SL63 was an absolute highway beast... I loved it... it was awesome, it handled great and random people took pictures of it.. It was definitely a statement.. and at 6' 5" tall I fit in it perfectly... it ran middle 11s in the quarter mile easily, And no I would not take it to the track and try to track race a 911 but It was definitely a very nice car with a split personality.

don't know if it's this blue color or the tail light design but this SL iteration actually looks quite edgy like LC500 or current day Supra.. definite refresh here -that's good enough for SL still while retaining its business luxury acumen. there's also the amg gt selections in the mix for more major dabbling!

[@diemnguyen7335]

You forgot the LC500 convertible as a competitor

[@awc7279]

LC500 is gorgeous but it's quite slow. The fact that coupe form came out in 2017 makes it almost a 5 years old "new" model even though convertible came out in 2019. That said, given the right price I'd love to pick one up used as a weekend car.

[@theoneandonlybosable]

I am so happy they made this but I think it’ll be a hard sell over a CPO AMG GT

[@SantanKGhey1234]

The GT is in a different league and will always be more pure sports car… RWD, in wheel double wishbone suspension, rear transaxle, dry sump oil system, mid engine placement, a driver focused cockpit, 2 seats only… the GT will appreciate well

[@danielmiller9012]

I mean this is more of a luxury/sport cruiser, the AMG GT is more of a pure sports car. I've test driven both and this is more comfortable IMO. The GT is quicker and more visceral. I prefer the SL

[@ZE4MC]

There is one main problem with the 2017-2019 LCI version of the SL ( I own 2017 and love it- except for...) - the engineers KILLED the BACK SPEAKERS! Everyone who owns one knows this and everyone hates this. The SL being a convertible, should have PERFECT sound, top up or top down IMO. If they fixed this simple thing- HUGE step in the right direction. The engineers/accounts who did this should be cas trated.

[@ohroonoko]

The SL 55 is the one to get. Forget about the SL 65 with its Night Package, chrome suits this car way better than the high gloss black look. And you don’t want a stiffer suspension with this kind of car, and this kind of car doesn’t need a more powerful engine than what you get with the SL 55.

[@carvlogs1016]

I would have a comparison between this and the 8 series convertible

[@carbuzzcom]

We would pick the SL by a WIDE margin.

[@geemy9675]

making a roadster longer makes it look more sporty? depends on your definition of sportiness, but usually shorter means lighter, more agile. they managed to make it longer AND lighter with the soft top but it could have been even lighter. of course, we're taking about an SL , not a Miata or a lotus so longer is ok, for stability and comfort.

[@danielmiller9012]

[@AlexSchwartzATV]

Honestly i think nowadays performance is generally really good, but will almost always be beat by electric. So when it comes to ICE cars, i think the experience is important. The shifting, the exhaust, the induction, the power delivery, etc. I think this car does it pretty well (along with say, the LC and IS500 for example.)

I'm pretty sure you can program the key to roll the windows up or down, and to do other stuff. And you say "hey mercedes turn the heat on". And it usually goes pretty fast. If you say hey mercedes and wait it , it usually doesn't work to good. The MY MB app works really good you can do alot from there. To connect to Bluetooth or Android auto you have to connect threw a wire, but more than one phone will connect to the phone Bluetooth at once...
